J Ray McDermott Awarded Further Turnkey Work in Qatar

J. Ray McDermott Eastern Hemisphere has recently been awarded further work offshore Qatar by Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company Limited (II) for an additional well head platform jacket, WH8, for the RasGas Expansion field development.

Under the WH8 jacket award, JRMEH will handle full engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation of a 12-slot jacket and associated piles, two boat-landings and temporary work deck, involving a total steel tonnage of approximately 2,600MT.

Engineering and procurement has already started and the company's Jebel Ali yard in Dubai will fabricate the jacket, which is scheduled for installation in the third quarter of 2005, using one of the company's installation vessels, the sixth wellhead jacket awarded to McDermott under the RasGas Expansion project.

Two other platforms, WH4 and WH5, are currently being fabricated at Jebel Ali yard, and the installation and hook up on both these is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 3rd quarter of 2005. In addition, engineering and procurement activities are in progress for the WH9 deck. The WH9 jacket is expected to be installed later this year.

In September, J Ray McDermott successfully installed over 105km of 38" pipeline from WH4 to shore, nine months ahead of schedule.

JRMEH has completed over three and a half years of work without a safety related incident resulting in time away from work (no Lost Time Incidents) on the RasGas Offshore Expansion Projects. The goal of zero LTIs and zero personal injuries is one of the key criteria of the project.
